Christina's Excellent 80's Movie Adventure

I love the 1989 classic movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure(I'm allowed to, I grew up in the '80's). But I was thinking today that if a telephone booth from the future appeared on my tree lawn, I wouldn't be so boring as to go back in time and bring back real people. I would instead dial my time booth to '80's movies and bring a wide array of the decade's greatest characters to the stage of San Dimas High.

The emcee would, of course, be Carol Anne from Poltergeist to announce that "They're Heeere..." Michael J. Fox would get everyone in a party mood as Teen Wolf. Maybe he'd shoot some hoops or surf on top of a van to a little "Surfin' USA". Then we'd have a live aquatic show from Daryl Hannah as the mermaid "Madison" in Splash, followed by "Wax On, Wax Off" lessons from Mr. Miyagi of the Karate Kid (I and II, but we'll ignore III for it's obvious "Bogus!"-ness). Kim Cattrall as "Emmy" from Mannequin would do a little fashion show for us, and we would conclude with Maverick, Goose, Ice-Man and Slider recreating the volleyball scene from Top Gun.

About Me

Some people follow politics, others sports; I follow pop culture. I also love shampoo, just because I do. This blog is about all the things my mind wanders to when I'm supposed to be paying attention to something else. I guess all blogs are kind of that way, but this one is mine.

What is a "Reigning Frog"?

"Reigning Frog" is an alias I created for myself after seeing the movie Magnolia. There is a scene towards the end of the movie where frogs literally start raining from the sky. In my opinion it had nothing to do with the movie, so I found it a tad strange. So I had an idea of creating a website for movies like JumptheShark.com is to television. I thought that RainingFrogs.com was a suitable name, and that as creator of this site I would be the "Reigning Frog." The project is currently on my procrastination list.
